In a move aimed at holistic growth and development of students, the government has directed that other subjects should not be taught in schools during physical education and arts periods.
This follows a complaint received by the Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights.
The Director of General Education (DGE), a few days ago, issued a communication to all deputy directors of education, district education officers, and assistant education officers, that periods allotted for sports, arts, and other recreational activities should not be used for studies.
